Nonsense.

The reporter from New Orleans who wrote this is a deep, deep idiot when it comes to the law.

The decision does not give the police the right to "search homes without warrants." That's completely wrong and totally misses the point of the 5th Circuit's very reasonable decision, which was a majority decision of 11 judges to 4. The SCOTUS has been taking a hardline approach to criminal procedure cases such as this lately, and they may even trim the ears off of this one.

Don't worry. This is nothing to worry about it. I say that as a civil rights near-absolutist. Just don't trust reporters from New Orleans.

The big problems are outsourcing and terrorism.
